Anyone tried these degreasers?

[Andrew S]

I am considering these 2 and wondering if anyone has tried them and has a preference as to which one is the best as I want to have a session on patches on the block paving.

Same make but maybe they work differently

Cheers
Andrew

I've used Jizer. It was pretty good but not amazing. It was years ago, though. The formulation may have been changed.

I did not try it on my driveway and have not tried the Swarfega product.

I've used Jizer as an engine degreaser and it was awful - I've always found Coke works well though.....

Tried coke Mike but it made me sneeze, unless you meant the drink

Jizer was always the best and I found that Gunk was the worst as it just broke the oil down and spread it

Both these products are made by swarfega

I prefer Jizer but always buy it in the spray cans as their sprayjet is more effective than others at getting into nooks and crannies. I agree with Andrew -its the best of many I have tried

Jizer and Gunk were both excellent but have been reformulated to protect animal life and the environment. As a result they are now crap.

I agree David.
Battery acid is next on my suggestions of use

I used screwfix no nonsense degrease on my heads worked perfectly well, and cheap enough not to worry if it doesn't work well enough for a specific job .. read the reviews .. they all seem to agree

Agreed. Great stuff and 1-litre lasts a long time as it needs to be diluted.

+1 for Bilt Hamber. Bought 2 one litre spray bottles about 3 years ago and used about a quarter of one getting an oil stain about half a square foot off the garage floor. Not a trace - except that that part of the floor is cleaner than the rest.
